The story of a bored individual...

Have a lot of pictures I've been wanting to post. Mostly of the areas where I live in Norway, London and even Poland. These pictures have been taken from mid january up until now, so there are quite a few. So if you want to know a little more about where I live, follow the cuts. :D

Hope that was informative and not to dull. Now, time for bed. Have classes tomorrow, and we're filming some pick ups afterwards.

 

Ain't-It-Cool-News has confirmed that Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn will direct X-Men 3 for 20th Century Fox. Bryan Singer directed the first two films of the franchise and is now shooting Superman.
The anticipated third film is expected to center on the Dark Phoenix saga. Both Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn wrote scripts, but the site says the studio will use Penn's draft for the movie.
In related news, while Hugh Jackman (who is also producing), Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming and more are all coming back, Halle Berry still isn't sure. She tells XMenFilms.net:
I have not read the script. All I have asked, is that if I come back as Storm, she need to be closer to the comic book. So, if they have in fact written her closer to the comic book character, then I'm in. If not, I'm out. I hope I'm in though. I love Storm, and really want to be part of the last film.
Fox and Marvel Studios are eyeing a Memorial Day, 2006 release date for X-Men 3.

 

The little guided tour of Portobello market went well yesterday. No problems. Was nice meeting her again actually, getting some news from the former home.

Went to the thearte again yesterday to see A Life in the Thearte. I enjoyed myself more this time, had much better seats, and didn't pay through the nose for it either. :) This time we stayed around after the show to get a glimpse of the stars, maybe even get an autograph. Both Sol and I scored an autograph from Joshua Jackson, here's a low quality pic: ( autograph )

Sadly my camera decided to die on me, don't know if the pictures I have taken can be saved, but will hand them in and let the pros. take a looks. Sol took a few pictures so I can copy pics from her. Patrick Stewart didn't come out the same way as Joshua, but maybe I'll catch him another time.

Next X-Man on the list is Alan Cumming at the Collectormania in April/May, will hopefully be able to get his autograph. :) Still not sure about Sean Astin, as I've already got a signed copy of his book, and those autographs ain't exactly cheap.

 

Saw Constantine today. I liked it, I must say. It's not the deepest movie I've seen, but it now ranks as a steady number 2 to the X-Men films on my comic-book-movie-list, and might be the first other comic-book-movie I actually buy on DVD. I liked the visuals, and it was a role that fit Keanu Reeves with his limited facial expressions. It's been called a mix between The Matrix and The Exorcist, which is kind of weird as I'm not a huge fan of either of them. I'm not really able to write a full-blown review of it right now, but what I will say is that I liked it.

Also got a kick out of the Sin City teaser trailer being shown before the film. The wait is just far to loooooong. *sigh*

Got home last Friday evening, as you probably have noticed by now. Not feeling to sure about the exams, but there's nothing to do but wait, and possibly take them again.

Was pretty knackered when I finally got back home, my parents were at the neighbours house. isil80  (formerly Isen) and beluga  were waiting for me, only I didn't know they were in the house, so they jumped out and scared the begesus out of me. EVIL!! We just took it easy, saw Shaun of the Dead, which I love. It's bloody brilliant! And now that I discovered that Dylan Moran is the guy playing David, just made Black Books that much better. We saw the second season of Black Books, loved it. Have found that any episode where Bernard is making food or mixing something while going mental is responsible for some of the best moments on the show. After all that isil80 and beluga ended up sleeping over, we just talked crap and watched telly.

beluga  returned in the evening. We watched two episodes of Goodness Gracious Me,beluga  and I sat chatting, finally put on Sugar & Spice, it's a extremely simple movie, but I just love the concept of a bunch of cheerleaders robbing a bank. We ended the evening with watching Episode 9 of LOST. She stayed over again.

Sunday was an even lazier day,  if you can imagine that. Watched Plunkett & Macleane, which was kind of weird, but I liked it. We also saw the first three episodes of Coupling. I love that show. Geoff is SO funny. After beluga  left I was online, helped Isen ake a LiveJournal, she is now isil80 , as I have already mentioned.

Had a totally bizarre experience on Monday. Was in my car waiting for the light to turn green, when suddenly the car in front of me starts backing up. The guy obviously didn't bother to look back to check if he had any cars behind him because he drove right into me. Stupid git. I pushed my horn, what did the guy do, he drove into the next lane and away. There was no damage on my car, but nobody expects someone to back into them like that. If I'd had my wits about me I'd written down his licence plate and reported him.

Yesterday beluga and I watched episodes 10-12 of LOST, have just gotten episode 13  and started working on nr. 14. The show is strangely addictive, even though there is a story line going on right now that is testing my patience. We also found out who did the trailer track for the Sin City trailer, They're called The Servant, and I'm liking their music. Cells is the song that's on the trailer.

Think those are the headlines for now. Not much exitement, but I'm home to relax, not go bungee jumping. :)

OH! Almost forgot Alan Cumming is coming to Collectormania in the April/May weekend! I'm gonna meet Nightcrawler! Yay!

Yesterday Alan Cumming was on "NY Graham Norton". Graham asked Alan about what was happening with X-Men 3. To which Alan replied that he was signed for it and it was would be released in 2006. Graham then asked him about the makeup, wondering if it would easier. Alan jokingly said that he would spend the whole movie with a bag over his head, followed by "or he dies in the first 10 minutes". Graham said that, "That's the kind of comment that can get you fired, Alan!"
He did say that he had been told that there would be some interesting developments for Nightcrawler in X3.
So there'll be some more bamfing coming our way, but he's only contracted for one more mind you.
